Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a vehicle control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] As the level of autonomous driving capabilities improves, drivers are gradually freed from using their hands and feet, no longer needing to control the steering wheel or brake and accelerator pedals while the vehicle is in motion. However, in emergency situations during autonomous driving, the driver still needs to take over the vehicle or be alerted to the vehicle's driving status.

[0003] In related technologies, warning messages are displayed on the dashboard and accompanied by audible alerts to prompt the driver to take over the vehicle or pay attention to its driving status. However, drivers' attention is not always focused on the dashboard, leading to a failure to notice the warning messages promptly. Furthermore, audible alerts can be disrupted by noise interference during driving, causing the driver to miss the message altogether. These issues significantly increase safety hazards during driving. Therefore, reducing these safety hazards is a pressing problem that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0050] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0051] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this disclosure.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment;

[0053] Figure 2 This is a block diagram illustrating an ambient lighting control system according to an exemplary embodiment;

[0054] Figure 3This is a flowchart illustrating another vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment;

[0055] Figure 4 This is a block diagram illustrating a vehicle control device according to an exemplary embodiment;

[0056] Figure 5 This is a block diagram illustrating a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0057] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0058] First, the application scenarios of this disclosure will be explained. Currently, in Level 3 and above autonomous driving modes, since the driver does not need to participate in driving the vehicle, their attention is generally not on the instrument panel screen. However, some emergencies may occur during autonomous driving, requiring the driver to be alerted to take over the vehicle or to pay attention to the vehicle's current driving status so that the driver can confirm whether to take over. In related technologies, prompts can be displayed on the instrument panel screen, but the driver's attention may not be on the screen, and they may not notice the prompts in time, resulting in the driver not being able to handle the vehicle's emergency in a timely manner. Prompts can also be broadcast via voice, but the noise interference in the vehicle is relatively large, and the prompts may not be heard clearly. In addition, the transmission of information by voice broadcast generally has a delay of 1 to 2 seconds, which can also cause the driver not to be able to handle the vehicle's emergency in a timely manner.

[0059] To overcome the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, this disclosure provides a vehicle control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium. During the autonomous driving process, by adjusting the lighting status of the ambient lights inside the vehicle, the driver of the vehicle is reminded to pay attention to different driving states of the vehicle. Since the ambient lights are relatively conspicuous, the reminder effect on the driver is better. During the autonomous driving process, the driver can be reminded to pay attention to the driving status of the vehicle more promptly, thereby reducing safety hazards during vehicle driving.

[0060] The present disclosure will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0061] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this method, applied to a vehicle, may include:

[0062] S101. Obtain the vehicle's autonomous driving information.

[0063] The autonomous driving information may include lane change signals, turning signals, collision warning signals, autonomous driving state entry signals, autonomous driving state exit signals, etc. The collision warning signals may include forward collision warning signals and rear collision warning signals, and the lane change signals may include left lane change signals and right lane change signals.

[0064] In this step, during the autonomous driving process of the vehicle, the autonomous driving information of the vehicle can be obtained through the autonomous driving domain controller of the vehicle.

[0065] S102. Based on the autonomous driving information, determine the ambient lighting configuration parameters of the vehicle.

[0066] In this step, after the autonomous driving domain controller obtains the autonomous driving information, it can send the autonomous driving information to the vehicle's ambient lighting controller via the vehicle's CAN (Controller Area Network) signal. After receiving the autonomous driving information sent by the autonomous driving domain controller, the ambient lighting controller can determine the target prompt information that the vehicle needs to output based on the autonomous driving information, and determine the vehicle's ambient lighting configuration parameters based on the target prompt information.

[0067] S103. Adjust the ambient lighting status of the vehicle interior ambient lighting according to the ambient lighting configuration parameters.

[0068] The lighting status serves to alert the driver to the vehicle's driving status, with different lighting statuses corresponding to different driving states. These driving states can include turning, lane changing, collision warning, entering autonomous driving mode, and exiting autonomous driving mode.

[0069] In this step, after the ambient lighting controller determines the vehicle's ambient lighting configuration parameters, it can identify the target ambient light to be driven based on these parameters and control the corresponding ambient lighting driver module to adjust the target ambient light's lighting state. Once the driver sees the ambient lighting state inside the vehicle, they can determine the vehicle's driving status based on this state and decide on the appropriate course of action. For example, if the driving status is a collision warning, the driver can immediately take over the vehicle and control the braking; if the driving status is exiting autonomous driving mode, the driver can take over the vehicle; if the driving status is turning, the driver can assist in observing the surrounding environment.

[0070] Figure 2This is a block diagram illustrating an ambient lighting control system according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the ambient lighting control system may include an autonomous driving domain controller, a vehicle central control unit, and an ambient lighting controller. The autonomous driving domain controller can acquire the vehicle's autonomous driving information and send it to the ambient lighting controller. The vehicle central control unit can acquire the vehicle's power mode, which may include a start mode, a stop mode, and a standby mode, and send this power mode to the ambient lighting controller. After receiving the autonomous driving information from the autonomous driving domain controller, the ambient lighting controller can determine the ambient lighting configuration parameters based on the autonomous driving information and determine whether the vehicle meets preset ambient lighting adjustment conditions based on the power mode. For example, the preset ambient lighting adjustment condition may be that the power mode is start mode. After the ambient lighting controller determines that the vehicle meets the preset ambient lighting adjustment conditions, it can send the ambient lighting configuration parameters to the ambient lighting driver module of the target area to be adjusted. The ambient lighting driver module adjusts the ambient lighting in the target area according to the ambient lighting configuration parameters. The target area can then adjust the ambient lighting. Figure 2 It is determined from multiple regions (region 1 to region 6).

[0071] The following four examples illustrate the vehicle control methods corresponding to different autonomous driving information.

[0072] Example 1

[0073] When the autonomous driving information obtained by the autonomous driving domain controller is a left lane change signal, this signal can be sent to the ambient lighting controller via CAN signal. Upon receiving the left lane change signal, the ambient lighting controller can determine the corresponding ambient lighting configuration parameters. For example, if the target area in the ambient lighting configuration parameters is the left side of the vehicle, the ambient lighting drive module on the left side of the vehicle can be controlled to gradually illuminate and then gradually dim the ambient light on the left side of the vehicle with an 800ms cycle, and the color is fixed at RGB values ​​(45, 224, 255). During the gradual illumination and dimming process, the brightness of the ambient light continuously changes. After a first preset number of cycles, the ambient light on the left side of the vehicle can be driven according to the preset ambient lighting configuration parameters, or the ambient light on the left side of the vehicle can be dimmed. The preset ambient lighting configuration parameters can be the default configuration parameters of the ambient light when the left lane change signal is not received. The first preset number can be predetermined based on the duration required for the vehicle to change lanes. For example, if the duration required for changing lanes is 3 seconds, the first preset number can be 4.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] After the autonomous driving domain controller receives a left-turn signal, it can send this signal to the ambient lighting controller via CAN signal. Upon receiving the left-turn signal, the ambient lighting controller can determine the corresponding ambient lighting configuration parameters. For example, if the target area in the ambient lighting configuration parameters is the left side and the front left of the vehicle, the ambient lighting drive modules on the left and front left of the vehicle can be controlled to illuminate the ambient lights for 400ms (100% brightness) and then de-illuminate for 400ms (0% brightness) in an 800ms cycle. After repeating this cycle a second preset number of times, the ambient lights on the left and front left of the vehicle can be driven or de-illuminated according to the preset ambient lighting configuration parameters. The second preset number can be determined in advance based on the duration required for the vehicle to turn left. For example, if the duration required for the vehicle to turn left is 8 seconds, the second preset number can be 8.

[0076] Example 3

[0077] When the autonomous driving information obtained by the autonomous driving domain controller is a forward collision warning signal, the forward collision warning signal can be sent to the ambient lighting controller via CAN signal. After receiving the forward collision warning signal, the ambient lighting controller can determine the ambient lighting configuration parameters corresponding to the forward collision warning signal. For example, if the target area in the ambient lighting configuration parameters is the entire ambient lighting area of ​​the vehicle, the ambient lighting drive module of the entire ambient lighting area of ​​the vehicle can be controlled to drive the ambient lights of the entire ambient lighting area of ​​the vehicle to light up for 200ms (brightness of 100%) and then turn off for 200ms (brightness of 0%) with a period of 400ms, until the forward collision warning signal is released. After that, the ambient lights are driven or turned off according to the preset ambient lighting configuration parameters.

[0078] Example 4

[0079] If the autonomous driving information obtained by the autonomous driving domain controller is an autonomous driving state exit signal, the autonomous driving state exit signal can be sent to the ambient light controller via CAN signal. After receiving the autonomous driving state exit signal, the ambient light controller can determine the ambient light configuration parameters corresponding to the autonomous driving state exit signal. For example, if the target area in the ambient light configuration parameters is the entire ambient light area of ​​the vehicle, the ambient light drive module of the entire ambient light area of ​​the vehicle can be controlled to drive the ambient lights of the entire ambient light area of ​​the vehicle to gradually light up and then gradually turn off with an 800ms period, and the color is fixed to RGB values ​​(45, 224, 255). During the gradual lighting and gradual turning off process, the brightness of the ambient light is constantly changing. After the driver of the vehicle takes over the vehicle, that is, after the vehicle switches to non-autonomous driving mode, the ambient light is driven according to the preset ambient light configuration parameters, or the ambient light is turned off.

[0080] It should be noted that the above example is an exemplary illustration of some autonomous driving information. The vehicle control methods for other autonomous driving information can be implemented with reference to the above example, and will not be repeated here. Furthermore, the ambient light configuration parameters in the above example are also exemplary illustrations, and this disclosure does not limit them.

[0081] Using the above method, during the autonomous driving process, the driver can be reminded to pay attention to different driving states of the vehicle by adjusting the ambient lighting inside the vehicle. Since the ambient lighting is relatively conspicuous, the reminder effect on the driver is better, and the driver can be reminded to pay attention to the driving state of the vehicle more promptly during the autonomous driving process, thereby reducing safety hazards during the vehicle's operation.

[0082] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method may include:

[0083] S301, Obtain the vehicle's autonomous driving information.

[0084] The autonomous driving information may include lane change signals, turning signals, collision warning signals, autonomous driving state entry signals, and autonomous driving state exit signals. The collision warning signals may include forward collision warning signals and rear collision warning signals. The turning signals may include left turn signals and right turn signals. The lane change signals may include left lane change signals and right lane change signals.

[0085] S302. Based on the autonomous driving information, determine the target prompt information that the vehicle needs to trigger.

[0086] In this step, after the vehicle's autonomous driving domain controller acquires the autonomous driving information, it can determine the target prompt information corresponding to the autonomous driving information through a pre-set prompt information association relationship. This prompt information association relationship can include the correspondence between different autonomous driving information and prompt information. For example, if the autonomous driving information is a collision warning signal, the target prompt information can be takeover vehicle information; if the autonomous driving information is a turning signal, the target prompt information can be turning reminder information.

[0087] S303. Based on the target prompt information, determine the ambient lighting configuration parameters of the vehicle.

[0088] In this step, after determining the target prompt message, the ambient light configuration parameters corresponding to the target prompt message can be determined from the pre-set configuration parameter association relationship. The configuration parameter association relationship includes the correspondence between different prompt messages and configuration parameters.

[0089] In one possible implementation, the ambient lighting can be set in multiple areas of the vehicle. The ambient lighting configuration parameters can include target areas and target effect parameters. These multiple areas can include the front left, front right, left side, right side, and rear of the vehicle. After determining the target prompt message, the target information level and target information type can be determined. The target information level characterizes the urgency of the target prompt message. Based on the target information type, the target area is determined from the multiple areas. Based on the target information level, the target effect parameters are determined. The target information level can include high, medium, and low, with higher levels indicating greater urgency.

[0090] For example, after determining the target prompt information, the target information level corresponding to the target prompt information can be determined through a pre-set hierarchical association relationship. This hierarchical association relationship includes the correspondence between different prompt information and information levels. For instance, if the target prompt information is vehicle takeover information, the target information level can be high; if the target prompt information is a turning prompt information, the target information level can be low.

[0091] After determining the target information level corresponding to the target prompt, the target effect parameters corresponding to that information level can be determined through pre-set effect parameter associations. These associations can include the correspondence between different information levels and effect parameters. Specifically, the target effect parameters can include target light brightness, target light color, and target flashing frequency. Target light brightness can be set as a percentage, with 100% representing the brightest and 0% representing the darkest. Target light color can be set using RGB values. The target flashing frequency can include a first preset flashing frequency, a second preset flashing frequency, and a third preset flashing frequency, with the first preset flashing frequency being the highest and the third preset flashing frequency being the lowest. For example, if the target information level is high, the target light brightness can be 100%, the target light color can be set to red using RGB values, and the target flashing frequency can be the first preset flashing frequency; if the target information level is medium, the target light brightness can be 70%, the target light color can be set to yellow using RGB values, and the target flashing frequency can be the second preset flashing frequency; if the target information level is low, the target light brightness can be 50%, the target light color can be set to green using RGB values, and the target flashing frequency can be the third preset flashing frequency.

[0092] It should be noted that the target information level, target light brightness, target light color, and target flashing frequency mentioned above are all illustrative examples. The target information level may also include other levels, the target light brightness may also include other brightness levels, the target light color may also include other colors, the target light color may also be a combination of multiple colors, the target flashing frequency may also include other frequencies, the target light brightness may also include multiple light brightness levels, and the ambient light may switch between multiple light brightness levels. This disclosure does not limit these aspects.

[0093] In one possible implementation, after determining the target prompt information, the target information type of the prompt information can be determined through a pre-set information type association relationship. This information type association relationship can include the correspondence between different prompt information and information types. For example, the information type can include "take over vehicle," "pay attention to the left side of the vehicle," "pay attention to the right side of the vehicle," "pay attention to both sides of the vehicle," etc. For instance, if the target prompt information is "take over vehicle" information, then the target information type can be "take over vehicle"; if the target prompt information is a left turn reminder information, then the target information type can be "pay attention to the left side of the vehicle." After determining the target information type, the target area corresponding to the target information type can be determined through a pre-set area association relationship. This area association relationship can include the correspondence between different information types and areas. For example, if the target information type is "take over vehicle," then the target area can include the front left, front right, left side, and right side of the vehicle; if the target information type is "pay attention to the left side of the vehicle," then the target area can include the front left and left side of the vehicle.

[0094] S304. Adjust the ambient light status in the target area according to the target light brightness, target light color and target flashing frequency.

[0095] The color of the target light can be represented by RGB parameters, and the flashing frequency of the target can be represented by the signal period.

[0096] In this step, after determining the target area and the target effect parameters, the target light brightness, target light color, and target flashing frequency can be sent to the ambient light driver module within the target area via CAN signals. The ambient light driver module then adjusts the lighting state of the ambient lights within the target area. For example, if the target area includes the front left and left side of the vehicle, the target effect parameters can be sent to the ambient light driver modules on the front left and left side of the vehicle, and these driver modules can drive the ambient lights on the front left and left side of the vehicle according to the target effect parameters.

[0097] S305. In response to a stop prompt request triggered by the driver of the vehicle, adjust the ambient lighting status of the interior of the vehicle according to the preset ambient lighting configuration parameters.

[0098] In this step, when the vehicle receives a stop prompt request triggered by the driver—for example, if the autonomous driving information is an autonomous driving exit signal—the stop prompt request is triggered after the driver takes over the vehicle. After the driver triggers the stop prompt request, the ambient lighting inside the vehicle can be adjusted according to the preset ambient lighting configuration parameters. These preset ambient lighting configuration parameters can be the default configuration parameters when the vehicle has not received autonomous driving information.

[0099] Using the above method, the vehicle adjusts the ambient lighting status of the target area based on the autonomous driving information. Different lighting statuses can indicate different levels of urgency in the driving situation, thus attracting the driver's attention more quickly and reminding the driver to pay attention to the vehicle's driving status in a timely manner. For autonomous driving information that does not require driver intervention, the driver can better perceive the driving intention of the autonomous driving system, improving the sense of security during autonomous driving. For autonomous driving information that requires driver intervention, the driver can take over the vehicle more promptly, further reducing safety hazards during the autonomous driving process.

For example, vehicle 600 can be a hybrid vehicle, a non-hybrid vehicle, an electric vehicle, a fuel cell vehicle, or other types of vehicle.
